Anyone but Kaminsky. Based on what? Those are fighting words for me. :D He's 7' tall and his best skill is outside shooting. He's borderline unathletic by NBA standards. He's the oldest player projected in the lottery. Wisconsin runs a highly structured offense. (albeit, an effective one) Bo Ryan ...

I don't really want Turner, Kaminsky is the home-run, WCS would be a great pickup at #13.

If Kaminsky/WCS are gone, I'd roll with Booker before Turner.

A lot of buzz that LAL is going to take Russell with #2, I doubt Philly would take Okafor with Embid/Noel. Maybe Philly looks to trade down; no way are the NYK dealing #4 if Okafor slides to them.

So with my man-crush not going to be there.

How would you guys rate the following?
WCS, Turner, Booker, Portis, Dekker, Oubre, Lyles?

I'd go
WCS>Dekker>Booker>Portis>Lyles>Turner

https://twitter.com/chadfordinsider/status/614070532040970240 Obviously a bummer for me as I really wanted Kaminsky, but I'm happy that people are catching on. He's such a good offensive player, I think people subconsciously downgrade him because he played four years in college, he's white and he ...

Someone's going to have to sell me on Trey Lyles. I think that's going to be our pick. Can anyone do it? He's better than Harrell. Don't hold back or anything! Give me the hard sell! :shock: Lol, hard to sell what you don't really believe in. Ask me to sell Kaminsky, Turner, Booker, RHJ, Dekker, or ...

I don't love Lyles. I think he profiles a little like Portis to me, I'm not sure what he does that's exceptional. I think he's a good athlete, a decent shooter, good size, I'm not sure who he guards in the NBA, probably 4s. I do think he has some offensive versatility, maybe you project him out like ...

He's better than Harrell.

I don't think Kaminsky is going to be around at #13 anyway, so I'm prepared to be sad.

I'm cooling on Kaminsky too. I heard one scout say that the entire Wisconsin offense was designed to run through him and react to the decisions that he made. I just don't see NBA offenses running through Kaminsky. See I think that's a big reason why I like Kaminsky so much; Wisconsin was ...

JC has a good point about his high-floor, WCS is going to be a valuable defender in the NBA right away and for a long time to come. That's valuable, and at #13? Pretty good value. But I do think he's overhyped and if he falls to us, it won't be a big steal. He's very limited offensively and not ...

I agree 100% with your take on WCS. He's already 22 as well. I don't have faith his offensive game will be there Calipari says that he has the offensive game, its just that the roster was so loaded at Kentucky, he was not allowed (by Calipari) to use it. He said this particularly in reference to ...

http://www.si.com/nba/2015/06/23/nba-mock-draft-karl-towns-jahlil-okafor-kristaps-porzingis-rj-hunter-emmanuel-mudiay Sports Illustrated's latest mock has us passing on Kaminsky, Johnson and Portis and taking .... Willie Cauley-Stein, who they have dropping down to 13. I'm not as high on WCS as ...

Bobby Portis is my guy. I like his length, energy, rebounding and ability to block shots. 6-11, 250 with a 7-2 wingspan can give us a long frontline with Len. He may not be the best athlete, but he doesn't have to be at that size. I also like that he's an energy guy but still has offensive skills ...

NY reporters are saying if Russell isn't there at 4, the Bledsoe trade is likely. Makes too much sense not to happen but I still think it depends on who's there at 13 that the Knicks want. Kaminsky may be gone, would they want Turner? If we get 4, I'd be OK with Winslow. Commit to Knight, throw ...

The thing with Dekker is that he played on a loaded Wisconsin team that had a bunch of options to score. Ive actually been warming to him lately, I wonder if he had been on a bad team and been 'the guy' if he wouldn't have scored like 20PPG and be higher thought of right now. This is a kid that went ...

Ok you're at #13.....Here's who is gone Towns Russel Okafor Winslow Portzingas Mudiay Cauley-Stein Booker Turner Hezonja Payne Kaminsky So who do you take? Yeesh, don't like how that draft plays out with Booker, Kaminsky, Turner all leaving the board before our pick. I do not want Stanley Johnson ...

Ok you're at #13.....Here's who is gone Towns Russel Okafor Winslow Portzingas Mudiay Cauley-Stein Booker Turner Hezonja Payne Kaminsky So who do you take? I suppose you could take Portis here in this scenario, I know some people are higher on him than I am, I don't think he's going to score much ...

Two things I think I know, Towns is going #1 and Russell won't be available to us at #4; I don't think Philly passes on him and if they do I don't think the Knicks deal the pick - they'd just take Russell. So that means that at least two of the following would be available at #4, Muiday, Porzingis ...
